Applied Materials Dielectric Systems and Modules Win Supplier Excellence Award from Texas Instruments.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2003 Applied Materials' Producer(R) CVD CVD Cardiovascular disease, see there Systems Cited For World Class Technology and Performance Applied Materials Applied Materials, Inc. NASDAQ: AMAT (HKSE: 4336 ) is the global leader in nanomanufacturing technology solutions with a broad portfolio of innovative equipment, service and software products for the fabrication of semiconductor chips, flat panel solar displays, solar , Inc. (Nasdaq:AMAT AMAT Applied Materials (stock symbol) AMAT Average Memory Access Time AMAT Automatic Message Accounting Transmitter AMAT Anti-Materiel (bomb or mine) AMAT Ageing Management Assessment Team ) dielectric systems and modules received the prestigious Supplier Excellence Award from Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. (TI), an honor that is given annually to less than one percent of TI's suppliers. Applied Materials was the only capital equipment company to win the award this year. The award cited the exemplary performance and continuous improvement of Applied Materials' CVD (chemical vapor deposition Vapor deposition Production of a film of material often on a heated surface and in a vacuum. Vapor deposition technology is used in a large variety of applications. ) technology, including products for low k films. Rob Simpson, Vice President, Worldwide Procurement and Logistics at Texas Instruments, said, "Applied Materials has demonstrated world-class technology capabilities in dielectric CVD as well as superior support for its systems in TI's production fabs and development centers. The Producer system, in particular, has a reputation throughout TI's fabs for high uptime and process performance. The system has the flexibility to deposit a broad range of silicon dioxide silicon dioxide: see silica. (SiO2) A hard, glassy mineral found in such materials as rock, quartz, sand and opal. In MOS chip fabrication, it is used to create the insulation layer between the metal gates of the top layer and the silicon elements below. films as well as specialized optical and low k dielectric films. This award reflects Applied Materials' excellent dielectric CVD technology and its consistent dedication to TI's success." The purpose of the Supplier Excellence Award is to recognize and honor companies that demonstrate outstanding contributions to TI in the combined areas of Cost; Environmental, Safety & Health; Technology; Responsiveness; Assurance of Supply and Quality. Recipients of TI's annual Supplier Excellence Award are an elite group of companies that rise to the challenge of maintaining a dedication to quality. "TI is one of the semiconductor industry's most technically advanced and fast-paced companies. Receiving their Supplier Excellence Award is a real honor, demonstrating the extra effort our product group and account management team have devoted to meeting TI's requirements," said Dr. Farhad Moghadam, Vice President and General Manager of the Dielectric Systems and Modules product group. "We appreciate TI's commendation COMMENDATION. The act of recommending, praising. A merchant who merely commends goods he offers for sale, does not by that act warrant them, unless there is some fraud: simplex commendatio non obligat. of the Producer system, which underscores the exceptional technology and cost-effectiveness that have made it the leading CVD system in the industry." Unlike batch systems, the Producer platform features a modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. that can be configured with up to six process stations, enabling exceptional processing flexibility and high throughput. More than 500 Producer systems are installed at chipmakers around the world. Applied Materials, the largest supplier of products and services to the global semiconductor industry, is one of the world's leading information infrastructure providers. Applied Materials enables Information for Everyone(TM) by helping semiconductor manufacturers produce more powerful, portable and affordable chips.
